Shen Shixing said, "The mantle of Prince Zhongxing is at Luo Wanhua," but he was a little angry in his heart. But there was no anger on his face, and he just continued to smile awkwardly and said, "Come here today, I may be a little bit Meng Lang
Okay. Do you think I am a person who harms righteousness and follows the secular world?"
The so-called "following the customs at the expense of righteousness" refers to a person without principles. Shen Shixing is now using Cheng Yi's theory: "When a gentleman lives in the world, if he does something that does not harm righteousness, he can follow the customs; if it harms righteousness, he cannot follow it."
When Luo Wanhua heard what he said, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I don't dare. How dare I think of this?"
Shen Shixing sighed and said: "The cabinet ministers of this term have been working together in the political hall for more than two years. Today I would like to comment that Xu Guozhi's integrity is better than that of you and me. Do you think so?"
Luo Wanhua nodded slowly and said, "Yes."
Shen Shixing gave a wry smile and said slowly: "Xu Guo and I are from the same hometown, and we are both from Nanzhili. He once advised me: 'You can advocate reform, why bother to change the ancestral system?'" He stared at Luo Wan with bright eyes.
Hua Yan said, "Why does Kangzhou think that a certain person always changes the ancestral system and sings the opposite tune?"
Luo Wanhua's face was a little feverish and he could not answer. Shen Shixing sneered and stood up: "As the saying goes, a thousand people are not as good as one person. I returned from Saihanba and just kept silent.
Just wait until Mr. Fengpan recovers from his illness - in the past, your Excellency and Mr. Yaoquan were comparable to my holy relatives?"
Luo Wanhua still couldn't answer, and could only nod his head at this time. Shen Shixing said: "This is the birth of the Tao, and that's all I hold. I came here today with the intention of helping you, but Kangzhou doesn't appreciate it."
"Mr. Kangzhou's political views are all based on the sea. I think he can enrich the country and strengthen the army. In addition, Liang Yaoquan is very power-hungry. I am afraid that after he becomes prime minister, the political style that has gradually become clearer in the court in recent years will become muddy -"
"Today, it turns out that you are just another person 'on the side'!"
Luo Wanhua blushed when Shen Shixing scolded him with a serious look and a slightly excited tone. And the person he was scolding "by the side" was one of the eight traitors of the courtiers whom Han Feizi said. His words were not unimportant - even almost
Insulted.
The so-called "by the side" person, Han Feizi said: "You are a dwarf with a smile, and you learn from the left and right. This person is just a person before he is ordered to do it, and he is a person who makes promises before being asked. He is the one who first understands the purpose, observes the appearance and looks, and first controls the heart."
Why was Luo Wanhua able to reach a deal with Liang Menglong? He just "observed his appearance" and knew that the Sacred Heart belonged to Liang Menglong, just like the "smiling dwarf" who "carried his intention first"!
Shen Shixing's words revealed that even though Luo Wanhua had developed a cruel heart and a thick skin in Myanmar, he almost broke his guard.
Although there was no anger on Shen Shixing's face at this time, his sharp words were something Luo Wanhua had never experienced before. Only today did he realize how much of a Meng Lang he has been over the years.
Yes, I was used to being the dominant one in Myanmar. After arriving at the center, I only looked at the emperor and never looked around. Today I was taught a solid lesson by my colleagues!
Luo Wanhua had never thought about how the political tradition that non-Hanlin officials were not allowed to join the cabinet was left behind, but now he understands a little bit.
When Shen Shixing saw that Luo Wanhua stopped talking, the excitement on his face gradually faded away. He paced in Luo Wanhua's room and said slowly: "I have read and reread the Holy Spirit's Three Treatises"
""
"Have I ever tried to change the ancestral system in everything over the years? As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of government reforms, how can I not agree with them? Are all reforms correct? The whip is harmful to the people, and the tax reform is even more harmful to business.
This is a shortcoming of the imperial government. Shouldn't it be corrected? And at the local level, how many officials in the local area carry out laws that harm the people in the name of trying out reforms?"
"The imperial edict ordered the establishment of a customs in Laizhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, and the local government continued to build the harbor - lavishly apportioning money for 'port repairs' to the merchants. The city was in ruins and the people were in dire straits. Is it wrong for me to draw up an edict to express my responsibilities? But it's just a matter of hanging up
Under the banner of 'reform', thousands of people in the court were in silence. I don't know who the emperor listened to, and he thought that I, Shen Shixing, was doing too much." At this point, Shen Shixing's voice suddenly became choked with sobs.
"Qingdao Customs, by the 14th year of Wanli, the annual tariff was less than 5,000 taels - why is it necessary for such a customs to continue to expand the port? I insist on 'seeking truth from facts', am I wrong?"
Luo Wanhua looked at Shen Shixing, whose face was flushed again, and lowered his gaze. He listened quietly to Shen Shixing saying one thing after another that he opposed, and was surprised to find that-every time he
The objections are all correct, at least they have their reasons.
Shen Shixing talked for a while, and gradually lost interest in the conversation. The sky gradually dimmed. Zhongshu came in and lit a whale oil lamp, illuminating the room like daylight.
Shen Shixing got tired from pacing, so he sat on the official chair opposite Luo Wanhua and took a sip of cold tea. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "My mentor put his family's life at risk in order to reform. I dare not not learn from my mentor.
It has been established. What you say and do can only happen naturally, but it has harmed the king's heart. Today you and Liang Menglong are vying for the position of Prime Minister. My eyes are burning when I see it - it hurts very much here." After saying that, he pointed.
From the position of my heart, I suddenly burst into tears.
Luo Wanhua's eyes were a little red. He raised his head and glanced at Shen Shixing. He opened his mouth, but stopped talking. He just stood up and bowed to the ground with a look of shame on his face.
Seeing him like this, Shen Shixing wiped his face, stood up with a long sigh, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I've been bothering you for a long time, so I'm leaving."
After watching Shen Shixing leave, Luo Wanhua lost interest in continuing to work. He simply packed up the documents on the table, gave instructions to his servants, and left the signing room.
The ginkgo tree planted by Huai En in the yard had lost its last few leaves in the cold wind. Under the light of the political hall courtyard, the golden leaves reflected light as if mixed with meat oil, which made Luo Luo
Wanhua looked a little disgusting.
He pointed to the leaves on the ground and said, "Why isn't this place cleaned up?" The Zhongshu next to him hurriedly replied: "As I said to the prime minister, this work was all done in the morning, and these leaves fell today."
Luo Wanhua listened without any expression on his face. He stood under the bare tree and glanced around the political hall - after Zhang Siwei left, the prime minister's room facing north and south was vacant, and no lights were lit at this time.
Dark.
On the left and right sides, the rooms of the deputy prime ministers were brightly lit, just like when I first entered the political hall two years ago.
Looking back, he seemed to have never seen Zhang Juzheng in this courtyard. When he entered the cabinet, the Prime Minister was already Zhang Siwei.
When Shen Shixing was the minister, he might have come here often to ask for advice from his teacher. Luo Wanhua couldn't help but think so. When he was in Myanmar, he had a lot of correspondence with Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't learn much about what he had learned after he became prime minister.
Style - I don't know how majestic this strange man is, so that his disciples, thinking of kindness, actually shed tears in front of him.
Seeing him glancing around again, Zhongshu, who was following him, took a step forward and asked, "What are your orders, Prime Minister?"
Luo Wanhua glanced at Zhongshu, who had a flattering smile on his face, suppressed his tumbling emotions, and said hoarsely: "It's okay, go back home."
I wish my dear readers and friends a happy new year! The epidemic will subside and you will be happy and healthy!
